1 . Supply power to the Tap using the two power supplies included with the
unit . The use of the second redundant power supply is optional .
Note: ________________________________________________________________
The second power supply is available to support the flow of traffic to the moni-
toring device, in the event that the first power supply becomes unavailable. If
the first power supply is unavailable, the second power supply will supply all
power for the Tap. Even if no power is available to the passive Tap, network
traffic flows uninterrupted.
______________________________________________________________________
2. Verify that the Power LEDs illuminate. PWR 1 illuminates when the first
power supply is in use, and PWR 2 illuminates when the second power
supply is in use . Both power supplies can be plugged into the Tap at the
same time .
3 . Connect Monitor Port 1 to the appropriate port on the monitoring
device using a CAT5 RJ45 straight-through cable to monitor the full-
duplex link .
4 . Connect Monitor Port 2 to the appropriate port on the monitoring device
using a CAT5 RJ45 straight-through cable to monitor the full-duplex link .
